Hi Tiffany ~

Susan--
I believe I joined the hidden workshop via invite from another member (whose story I saw there), but don't see how to access it again.
Do you see me as being signed up, or do I need another invite?
Thanks!
Matt
Hi Matt, i just checked: you appear on the "member"-list of the Hidden Workshop.
here's how to get there:
-- go to "You" (top right)
-- then, in "You", go to "Your Groups"
-- and then click on "Hidden Workshop" in your group list.
let me know if you have any difficulties getting in.
Dorothee--
Still doesn't show icon for HW.
The first story I submitted to Fictionaut (in July 2009) is called "Dumb Luck." I'd like to try a version of it without using its current format of little chapters. Since no one who commented on the story then mentioned disliking the format, I worry a little that I will ruin it if I change it too much. The story as it is runs 20 ms. pp.; removing the sections would shorten it. The word count is 3,870. I'd rather try this in the hidden workshop. Thanks.
In fact, the story is 24 ms. pp. I just tried to relieve it of its little chapters and photos (from the internet of objects mentioned in the story), and the story crumbled. Not-do. There may be something I can work in the fifth position (what I call the fifth position, the penultimate status point or station) to deepen the sixth position or end. For that, hidden workshop.
Hi Ann ~ i just sent you an invite.
Hi Matt ~ i now sent you a second invite, your name also shows on the "recent activities list" -- i will message you the direct workshop link, too, just in case the icon still remains 'hidden' for you.
Would love an invite to the Hidden Workshop.
Thanks,
CT
hi Chris ~
your invite is waiting in your mail!
Would love an invite to the Hidden Workshop, too. Many thanks.
Dortothee--I would like to join this workshop.
There are pieces I do not feel ready to show entire group.
They could use criticism and work. I am only beginning to
write fiction. thank you--Bobbi
I have a story, 2k words that I've been working on for quite a while. I don't want to make it public but desperately want feedback and suggestions as to appropriate venues.
Hello,
I just joined. I'm also very new to Fictionaut and have not yet posted any stories, though intend to soon. I'd appreciate an invitation to the Hidden Workshop.
Thank you.
Best,
Rumjhum
I just joined fictionaut and am running into a complete almost nonresponse on autobiographical/memoir type piece. Someone responded enough today to convince me it's probably not ready for the wider world. My first couple of fiction pieces did OK, but I still think it would be smart to have a place to work on my stuff first before posting. I'm quite sensitive to the sound of crickets. Thanks for considering my case.
Hi Dorothee
Would love an invite to the Hidden Workshop...
Thanks and all best,
Bev Akerman
Hi - I have a chapter of my novel that I'm tinkering with as a stand-alone short story, and would like to add it to the Hidden Workshop. I haven't yet posted the chapter - when I receive the invite, can I post the chapter to the Hidden Workshop alone? Thanks! Jennifer
Hi,
Is the Hidden Workshop group still active? If so I would like an invite, please. I've got a piece (1,500 words) that has promise but needs a little help.
Thanks.
Hi,
May I join the Hidden Workshop?
Thanks much,
Mia
Would love to have an invite, working on new novel, thanks!
Could I get an invite to the hidden workshop? I have a story nobody has yet seen and feedback of whatever kind would be welcome.
If you have published a text in Fictionaut and want some constructive feedback, or feel the text still isn't all fitting yet, then try The Workshop:
-> Add your text to this group (to do that, go to your text, then click on the “Group it” button above the title.) (note: your text will still be visible in the regular story-listing)
-> As a starter for feedback, add a comment with a note on the text/ or with specific questions.
-> Consider giving some feedback in return, to keep the workshop moving.
NOTE: there also is a "HIDDEN" Workshop. If you are working on a story or a poem, and want some feedback, but don't want your text to be visible for everyone already, then leave a note in the "Doormat" thread, and you will receive an invite for "The Hidden Workshop".
This is a public group.
Anyone can see it and join.
